I'm 76 & in 1950, at age 4, I appeared on a very early t.v. show, hosted by Buster Crabbe! He was about 42 at the time, but looked essentially as he did as "Flash Gordon" (except his hair was darker! ) Soon after this, his "Flash Gordon' serials began on t.v. & were so successful that In 1952, a brand new "F.G." series started, with Steve Holland playing "Flash"!

The Hawkman's sky city was the inspiration for Lando's mining cloud city in ," the Empire Strikes Back". So many Star Wars ideas were taken from Flash Gordon.

Star Trek also had a city in the sky in the episode "The Cloud Minders".

This old serial was a modern classic. One of the best sci fi productions ever.

Jean Rogers........huba huba. I'm sure many a young lad enjoyed watching Jean run around Mars in her space outfit.

These were shown between movies in theaters. This is from 1936, and Television wasn't unveiled to the public until 1939

Que maravilla ver esta serial de los años 30s , Flash a todo reacciona con empujones y quiere golpear a todo mundo como primera reaccion , bueno , supongo que es lo que era normal en aquella epoca ( y hoy tambien )

Once this serial is done, we can hopefully see Buck Rogers here as well. Buster Crabbe was also the titular hero in that

For a 30's sci fi, this series even had some cool special effects, although I think they could have gone the extra mile and made a more decent lion-man costume.

Another great documentary from CCC. I'm glad they used a lot of Zarkov's actual footage.

Back then, the men were big & strong & the women were beautiful in a different way than they are today. I doubt anyone from back then would find the pumped-up bodies & lips of the men & women of our era attractive. And I totally understand why. Thanks for sharing this true classic. I can't wait for the next installment! I actually have it on DVD but the thrill of waiting for the next one is quite intoxicating, not to mention joy of seeing Dale & Princess Aura in color! I must admit, the way they kind of go gray & then suddenly change back to color takes some getting used to but I guess some of the women I've dated over the last few years have done the same thing, so I know it's something I can get used to...

Jean Rogers, what a babe, and the perfect femme fatale in my mind. She was about 20 when this was made.

There was a Tijuana Bible printed in the 30s, satirizing Flash Gordon/Buck Rodgers, and entitled "The ENLARGING Ray"

It explains why they chose Brian Blessed to play the king of the Hawkmen in the later film.

So what if this is old it was done great that anyone can see that after all the years that have gone by that it does not make a difference

Me gustan mucho el género de las películas. Otros ponen más películas pero en inglés. Le estoy muy agradecido, pero siempre se repiten.

Right, so, the budget was limited, but somehow they had enough change to bring out a BEAR, with TIGER STRIPES, and a NOSE RING?!

Doesn't Metropolis mean anything to you? That is a movie ,this is a cartoon. By that I don't want to take anything away from cartoons. When the British people saw Metropolis , they were frightened by the technique the Germans were showing that they had. Metropolis 1927
